| Abstract: | This paper discusses the results of an extensive study on cross-border/international acquisitions of European multinationals in the period 1976-2000. It is shown that the most general motives for cross-border acquisitions are market entry, increase in scale and economies of skills. Two significant preconditions for cross-border acquisitions are a unique competence that makes a company stand out from the competition and a good financial state. |
